Additional opinion: piracy is always morally good if the reason for your piracy is inability to buy something. That includes when the item is delisted, as in the OP, but also when you can’t afford it.

[I agree with the OP by the way. Specificities should be ironed out, but in spirit it would be a good law.]

I recently had to go through this maze. I hate it. And I’m glad that my PCs tend to live ~10y, this means that I’m not doing it again in the foreseeable future.

Guinea pigs perhaps? I didn’t post them because capy represents them as Caviidae.

They are, just like guinea pigs (their smaller relative). It’s just that the bauplan is rather close to a pig - stubby legs, roundy body, stubby tail.

I guess that just like non-crustacean peak performance is to become crab-like, mammal peak performance is to become pig-like? Cats*, humans, dogs, we’ll eventually get porcinised!

*except my cat. She’s a Schweinekatze (pig-cat) so she’s already pig-like.

Capybara:

Maps like this remind me that I suck at geography. Whoever annotated those things knows considerably more about USA than I do.

Pets? One of my cats found a nice solution for that: recruit some dumb human as her heating pillow. (The “dumb human” is me, by the way.) And when I’m not on the bed she sleeps inside a blanket folded in the shape of a pocket.

…although winter here rarely goes below 0°C, subtropical region and all that shit. If I was a bit souther I’d probably have some heaters in the bedrooms, and that’s it - there’s no reason to heat the whole house.

Urban Dictionary never ceases to amuse me!

This reminds me 4chan /int/'s weird synonyms for country, from analysing the word as “cunt tree”. Stuff like “vagina bush” and similar. Oddly enough everyone understood it, even when translated.

I’m probably creating a group to deface the largest government/country flag on the canvas, regardless of: which government it’s associated with, screechers trying to boss us* against it, “ackshyually you all* should stop and define whut is a cuntry flag” sea lions, liars claiming that this is harassment or prejudice, muppets saying that I’m “welcome” to contribute to their used toilet paper on a pole “monument”, so goes on.

Additionally, I’ll use an alt account to draw some stuff that I can’t disclose here, because I kind of predict that pissed nationalists will ruin it as some petty revenge. It has zero to do with countries.

*“we” = anyone who joins the group. Potentially just me.

EDIT: ah, I’ll also be helping out with some drawings here and there, like I did last time.

I’ve added all of them to the list, thanks!

Regarding !news@beehaw.org, now there’s an alternative there.

It must be an app issue then. (Certainly not an instance issue, as Mothra is in the same instance as I do.)

Just to be safe I’m going to convert the thing into a bullet points list.

Nah, there were just LG and .ml, as OpenStars said. Technically HB too but they didn’t federate due to technical limitations.

That’s weird - are you accessing lemmy through a browser, or some app?

Check if it works here: !funny@sh.itjust.works

If it does then it’s the table interacting weirdly with the links, I can fix it by removing the table.

Yup, they are both shitty, and grounds to remove an admin.

However when it’s a single event there’s still the chance that it won’t happen again, as the admin could regret it. There’s still grounds for “this won’t affect me, as a user, in the future”.

And when it’s both, as you said, it gets even worse.

Ah, typical lemmy.ml . They have a hard time understanding that you can support a certain ideology without necessarily turning a blind eye to everything that people claim to be doing for the sake of said ideology, or that any criticism against their actions is automatically false.

I remember you, by the way. You were already an old Lemmy user when I joined in, 3y ago!

Added to the list.

It isn’t a high mark, I agree. But while the “kill you are self lol.” thing could be just an admin in a really shitty day, this lack of transparency is consistent behaviour.

Ah, they do it now? When I signed up there (~3y ago) there was no such thing.

Anyway, it’s still a problem because most users interacting with .ml content are from other instances.

Yeah, it should be easier to grow ten communities about the same topic than one.

Yeah, because people don’t totally cross-post stuff all the time, or subscribe to multiple comms around the same topic.

If you want to grow other instances, do it with unique stuff, not stuff .world already has. It’s not like there no room left.

If you’re that pissed that I’m not listing .world comms, to the point of trying to boss me around (see emphasis on imperative), you can list yourself those comms. With blackjack and hookers.

Do something other than trying to kill the dozen successful Lemmy communities we do have.

Okay, full stop here. Cut off the crap - in no moment I’m trying to “kill” those communities in .world, and you’re being a disingenuous liar (or worse, a bloody moron) for claiming otherwise.

Not going to waste my time further with you.

Added to the list - thanks!
